The oil and gas industry is responsible for approximately 80 million tonnes of methane emissions annually - accounting for around 40% of methane emissions from human activity. These emissions are not only harmful to the environment but also represent a significant opportunity for cost-effective abatement. In fact, over 75% of methane emissions from oil and gas operations can be reduced using proven technologies such as leak detection and repair (LDAR) programs, equipment upgrades, and improved operational practices. Remarkably, around 40% of these reductions can be achieved at no net cost.

Electrification of valve actuation is a powerful strategy for reducing emissions across upstream oil and gas operations. Rotork’s intelligent, low-power electric actuators are specifically designed to support emission reduction goals while enhancing operational efficiency and reliability.
